Sniff very kindly sent me a bottle of the Sonex stuff and I applied it last night (after drying out the puddle on the seats!)
It poured down again last night and this morning, so I checked the Zed when I left for work and he was as dry as a bone!
Three cheers to Sniff!

I've read a lot about strutt braces on here and wondered if they really do make a big difference? I find my 1.9 Z3 tends to fidget on rough, country roads which is annoying, would a strutt brace cure that?
TIA,
